Yo La Tengo - Awhileaway lyrics

How do you turn from fear?
How do you make dark thoughts disappear?
When nowhere to go feels right
Maybe I can hide from the night
Maybe I’ll just turn on the light

So it’s you and me
Hard times pass peacefully
Is that true? We’ll see
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway

My heart skips every time
Your sleepy grin, your still-closed eyes
I don’t need any more
I'm sure I’ve said all that before
Please don’t laugh when I say it some more

When you and me we don’t even have to agree
Is that true? We’ll see
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway

Things get better sometimes
But whether or not
It takes forever, it’s in sight
If we’re together
Please don't laugh when I say it some more

With you and me hard times pass peacefully
Is that true? We’ll see
Maybe I'll believe what you say
Or maybe I can quiet my brain
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway
